ICHS - International Classification for Health Semantics
The ICHS classification and their corresponding databases aims to bridge the gap between today's healthcare industry records and the dynamic A.I. data models used in next-gen biotechnology and epidemiological research. By codifying medical concepts, physiological conditions, novel infectious diseases, we can turn plain text into a dynamic markup file consisting of many data points, enabling further data processing, interpretation and extrapolation. We do this by creating 3 different codified databases:
- ICHS Pathocom™ - Pathological and infectious diseases
- ICHS MedLex™ - Lexical and conceptual
- ICHS Physiocom™ - Physiological and “internal milieu”
By empowering smarter data, ICHS databases can help GPs and clinicians get access to better clinical pathway (CPW) tools and software, thereby enhancing their practice. It can also be used to further advancements in biotechnological research.
Draft Proposals
Database 1 - ICHS Pathocom Database
- Target 1 - Adding diseases entries in database and building entry code. (In progress)
- Target 2 - Revamping classification standard and logic. (In discussion)
- Target 3 - Adding synonyms, cross-links, and metonym support in disease entries. (In early discussion)
- Target 4 - Adding support for ICD-11 code matching (In progress)
- Target 5 - Adding textual equivalents for other languages; non-English. (In early discussion)
- Target 6 - Adding clinical, diagnostic, and prognostic information to existing entries. (Proposed)
Database 2 - ICHS MedLex Database
- Target 1 - Adding concept entries in database and building entry code. (In progress)
- Target 2 - Adding medical lexicon in database and building entry code. (In progress)
- Target 3 - Adding definitions and contextual explanations. (In early discussion)
- Target 4 - Adding multi-lingual support. (In early discussion)
- Target 5 - Adding support for ICD-11 code matching (In progress)
Database 3 - ICHS Physiocom Database
- Target 1 - Adding entries for identification of physiological traits. (In progress)
- Target 2 - Adding entries for identification of physiological conditions. (In progress)
- Target 3 - Phasic and stages classification entries. (Proposed)
